UPDATED: WaPo Reporter GOP Contribution Story is Inaccurate

UPDATE: The original diary has been updated. I throw my hat in with those who say this was almost certainly an honest mistake all around. Trying to make a big deal out of this is a credibility waste.

Right now the the most recommended diary on this list is Washington Post's Hsu gave to GOP.  Only problem is, it doesn't look like he actually did make a donation.  

Instead, The Washington Post claims that the listing on OpenSecrets.com is simply inaccurate.  According to the Post, the supposed $1,031 contribution was actually remibursement for a hotel room that the state party had fronted Hsu at the 2004 GOP convention.

The WaPo response on poynter.org also includes a full article from the Richmond paper last month, spelling out how reimbursments from their reporters were also inaccurately listed by the FEC as campaign contributions.

I know people here are upset about Hsu's article the other day, but let's not overplay our hand here.
